Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 152 Filch’s Request
Lin Xia passed on another set of boxing techniques to Draco.

Logically speaking, boxing techniques generally focus on lethality, but this boxing technique focuses on health preservation, which is the Tai Chi that Lin Xia often practices.

Balance and coordination are the way of boxing; tightness and looseness are the method of boxing; the combination of hardness and softness is the function of boxing; the combination of yin and yang is the power of Tai Chi.

Draco's body has been restless recently. Practicing Tai Chi can help him integrate yin and yang, suppress the dryness in his body, and also balance his excessive anger.

Breaking through the realm requires one breath, but this breath is not a dry breath, but an upward fighting breath in the heart.

Even if there is no suitable stage recently, Lin Xia does not recommend Draco to break through in this state.

Although according to the characteristics of "Secret Record of Purple Gold Mysterious Gang", if Draco breaks through in this state, there is a high probability that Draco will succeed, but at the same time, the essence of his body will be damaged.

If you damage the foundation when you need to lay the foundation most, it will be even harder to make up for it later than reaching the sky.

Although Lin Xia has never experienced this, she has seen too many such cases in her clan in her previous life.

After teaching Draco, Hermione arrived belatedly.

After a while, the doorbell rang, and Lin Xia and others also packed up their experimental equipment and prepared to leave the laboratory.

When they first met, everyone was quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Filch actually ignored them and passed them by.

This made Lin Xia and others' favorable impression of Filch skyrocket, and they felt that Filch was not as bad as they thought.

Draco: "Well... I gave him dozens of gold Galleons and asked him to help with the decoration of the laboratory. Is this considered a benefit?"

Lin Xia saw that she was not reluctant and did not try to persuade her. Although some people looked busy, they were happy to be busy.

Suddenly, Lin Xia and Draco both thought of one thing.

Hermione analyzed: "I also think he has a bad personality. It's impossible for a person to be nice to another person for no reason. I'm wondering, did he ask for something from us, or did he get some benefit from us?"

And although some people are showing off, they feel very guilty for showing off.

[Natural Wand] has made some progress in the past few days. Everyone comes to the laboratory to do research in their free time, hoping to get results as soon as possible, so they always leave after reaching the entrance gate.

If it was for gold galleons, then he was a squib, why would he need so many gold galleons? He was not a wizard, so he didn't need to buy many magic tools. "

Until one time, Draco saw Filch privately punishing young wizards who were caught wandering at night and threatening them. In the past, there was whipping in Hogwarts, and he still thinks that this punishment should not be cancelled.

Among them, I also met Filch.

Draco overturned his original idea and told Lin Xia and Hermione: "Filch is just special to us, but he is still very bad."

Hermione said uncertainly: "Probably."

Lin Xia looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and said, "You don't have to come to the laboratory so late in the future. It's too rushed."

Hermione smiled and said, "No, I enjoy it. I just like this sense of fulfillment."

Lin Xia had another guess, "Filch has been at Hogwarts for so many years, so his salary should not be small.

Hermione blinked and said jokingly: "We have a laboratory and we are serious researchers. Doesn't he have something that we need to study, so he treats us specially?"

Hit the nail on the head!
No one expected that Hermione would actually make a joke about a joke they had chatted with before.

Just today, after they left the laboratory, they met Filch and Mrs. Norris on the second floor. At the same time, Filch was accompanied by Professor Quirrell and...

"Mikel!"

Hermione asked in surprise: "Why are you still outside? Are you wandering at night?"

Mikel coughed and said, "Hermione, before you ask this question, why don't you think about yourself first and why you are also wandering out at night."

Hermione said calmly: "I didn't go out at night. I stayed in the laboratory all the time. I didn't leave the laboratory until I heard the doorbell ringing. Recently, the laboratory has reached a critical place, so I can only spend more time to think about it." Data, what about you?”

Mikel: "I was discussing a magic issue with Professor Quirrell and accidentally forgot the time. I was about to go back when I met Administrator Filch."

Lin Xia didn't speak to Draco, only looked at Filch silently.

Filch spoke slowly: "You go back quickly. If you don't do this next time, I will arrest you and put you in solitary confinement. And you, Professor Quirrell——"

He looked at Quirrell with a pale face and a gloomy look: "You are a professor. You should know the rules of Hogwarts better than the students. Students are not allowed to go out after half past nine."

Quirrell stumbled back: "I, I know, I, I am about to send Mikel back."

Everyone said goodbye to each other in front of the magic elevator on the second floor. Lin Xia and Draco didn't need to take the elevator and went directly to the barrel near the kitchen.

When choosing a laboratory, Lin Xia considered choosing one that was close to the dormitory and classrooms.

Looking at it now, it is really convenient.

However, the two of them did not expect that Filch did not patrol other floors, but instead echoed on the second floor, following them.

Hogwarts became quiet when gate hours came.

The corridor was empty, and no little wizard appeared. The "creak, creak" sound of the oil lamp swinging behind the two people was particularly obvious.

Arriving in front of the barrel, Lin Xia turned around, looked at Filch, and nodded: "Administrator Filch, thank you for your escort. Hogwarts is safe. You don't have to do this next time."

Draco suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Fei Er was strange today, but Lin Xia explained it like this, and it made sense.

Filch was following them, actually escorting them?
But both of them are wizards, and Filch is just a squib. Do they still need Filch to escort them?
Draco couldn't help but glance at Lin Xia.

Having already received the heir course, he understands many truths. Perhaps, is this what his father said - the art of speaking?
Filch's gloomy eyes looked at Lin Xia, and for a while, his gloomy and hoarse voice sounded.

"Witch Lin Xia, how is your research going?"

Lin Xia nodded: "It's okay, Administrator Filch. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. You don't have to play charades with me."

Filch was silent for a while, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xia.

"If you have time, I hope you can study this, I-I-"

He paused, his voice hoarse: "I will work hard to reward you."

Lin Xia looked down and saw what was written on the piece of paper:

"How to activate the Squib's potential and use magic power"!
